Alaska Supreme Court Decides Against the State and Pebble

ARCTIC REFUGE PROTECTED AGAIN!

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge won in court today! The U.S. District Court ruled today that oil and gas exploration is not allowed on the Coastal Plain. The court’s decision shuts down the most recent attempt by the State of Alaska to open the Coastal Plain to damaging oil and gas activities.
